Insufficient food, running water, medicines, and no electricity. The people of the Ukrainian city of Oleshky are slowly starving to death under Russian occupation, while aid deliveries and evacuation are being blocked by Russian authorities. This must not be allowed to continue.

The far right has proven time and time again that they are racist and antisemitic. We cannot allow them to continue to spew hatred without consequences. Ahead of the French presidential elections, we need to come together to ensure that they don’t divide us.

🏡 Ideally, we shouldn't spend more than around 30% of our salary on rent. ❌ We need to put limits on investors so that being able to rent or buy a place remains possible. Thanks to EU legislation, minimum wages are rising but not enough to keep up with the increasing rents.

Women are still paid 12% less than men. They are also less likely to be in the top jobs. 💪 No pay discrimination based on gender. 👏 This starts with implementing the pay transparency directive that was initiated by @greens-efa.eu back in 2022. #internationalequalpayday

🏡 Moving out of your parents’ house: a delayed dream in 2025. The average age of young adults leaving the parental house is 26.4 in the EU, with a decade between Croatia & Sweden. 🧐 How can we fix this? Higher minimum wage. Renovating houses. Lower energy bills.
Graphic titled “Young adults can’t afford to move out anymore.” A colour-coded map of Europe shows the average age at which people leave their parental home, based on the latest available Eurostat data (2023). Countries are grouped into age ranges:
20–22: Sweden, Finland.
22–24: Denmark, Estonia, Germany, France.
24–26: Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Lithuania, Czechia, Latvia.
26–28: Poland, Hungary, Romania, Cyprus.
28–30: Ireland, Portugal, Slovenia.
30 or older: Spain, Italy, Croatia, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Greece.
The map uses turquoise for ages 20–22, light grey for 22–24, pink for 24–26, yellow for 26–28, orange for 28–30 and dark pink for 30 or older. Countries outside the dataset are shown in green. The European Greens logo appears in the bottom-right corner.

👙85% of places where you can swim (think lakes & rivers, not swimming pools 😉) in the EU are safe. But … this doesn’t take into account pollution. Forever chemicals (PFAS) have been found in over 50% of all waters in the EU. ❌ The EU must ban PFAS now.
